Question

If the graph of y = |x| is translated so that the point (1, 1) is moved to (4, 1), what is the equation of the new graph?

Answer 1

First you graph all of these answers in a calculator:

y= Ix-3I is correct, it moved to (4,1).

y=IxI-3 is incorrect because it moved to (1,-2)

y=Ix +3I is incorrect because it moved to (-2,1)

y=IxI+3 is incorrect because it moved to (1,4)

So your answer is A: y= Ix-3I
